- wituesmz UNITED STATES IMPROVEMENT IN INSIDE BLINDS FOR HOUSES.

I Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 127,006, dated May21,1872.

Specification describin g" an Improvement relatingto the InsideFoldingBlinds for Dwellin gs, invented by JAMES VVRIGHT and THOMAS THOMPSON, ofElizabeth, in the county of Union and State of New Jersey.

The invention consists in entirely covering the hinged blind by means ofa jainb that folds over it, as hereinafter fully described andsubsequently pointedout in the claim.

The drawing is a horizontal section, with one half of the blind let outand the other folded in the jamb. V

A represents a jalnb, hinged at one or more points so as to fold over apocket or chamber, A, into which all the slats B of a blind, after beingfolded upon one another in the usual manner, are turned.

- By this construction the blinds are not only folded upon one anotherand then turned into a pocket, as now usually done, but, being coveredand protected by the jamb, are not subjeot to. defacement by the depositof dust and other causes. The size of the room is also not appreciablyaffected by this construction, or its proportion marred by any juttingprojection, since the j amb need only extend one inch .beyond the planesurface of the walls. The

ordinary pockets extend some six or eight inches further out than isnecessary with our improvement.

Having thus described our inventlon, what we claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

The folding jainbs A A and pockets A A, constructed and arrunged,-withrespect to the folding blinds B B, as and for the purpose described.
